Notes
- If you are using chocolate instead of candy melts, make sure that you add a little shortening or coconut oil to help it dip smoothly.
- While you dipping if the candy coating starts to harden pop it back in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds so that it loosens back up.
- If the candy eyes are hard to stay in place, you can add a bit of melted chocolate behind them and press lightly.
- If you want to give these at a party, place each treat into a cellophane bag, and close with a twist tie or ribbon.
